[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 737880"] We all know how Windows Defender has problems with On Access constant scans, crippling HDDs performance, is the reason I'm forced to use a third-party AV program. I find myself in the same situation as OP, I don't remember the last time I had a problem with a Virus myself and an AV is simply wasting resources in the background for me. I do acknowledge modern malware and it's risks, but an AV program is not the answer on my book (I don't need signatures nor real-time protection for common infections). What we advanced users need, is programs like CFW, Adguard and OSArmor. I'm considering going with CFW (but there's mixed reviews about it's performance hit and the problems it has on W10). Currently using Kaspersky Anti-Virus (which has no performance hit on my system, compared to the competition). I'll take any suggestions considering what I said above. [/QUOTE]
